I am interested in setting up a Series LLC that will hold property in both OH and NC.

If you follow these steps in a series of weeks and do this every single day, you're going to be amazed at how many deals you uncover.

Is an LLC or a series LLC necessary to have if I grow?

After two renovations in other properties, I sold my own apartment in 2007 through an incredibly complicated series of contractual maneuvers designed to skirt EU  banking regulations, and the bank was as in on it as the buyer was. 

If it’s dumb I guess it’s no big deal, but I think even a short series might help a few people and that would be worthwhile.

I would start by watching their five part "Our Story" series, as it covers a lot of mistakes they made.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

As I recall, if you took out, say $50K, then the allocation of the two properties is $220K and $80K.Now, figuring out these 1031's can get complex as most of the course I took involves doing series 1031's where you trade a property in a 1031, to another one some years later in another 1031, and so forth, and then another one, where you actually own one physical building but on your books, can be several, each with it's own depreciation schedule on it's final sale, can have two or more separate depreciation recaptures calculated.
